In some cases these agreements are renewed annually without change and without Board approval. In other cases the agreements are initially established as ongoing until either party proposes changes. This item presents four such agreements for Board information. 1. Memorandum of Understanding with the Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County Children’s Services Program. This is an ongoing agreement that was approved by GUSD’s previous superintendent. It is not fiscal in nature, but simply codifies the expectations for mutual support to ensure the coordination of the federally funded Head Start program with State and local educational institutions for the maximum participation and benefit to children’s preschool participation, education and school readiness. It is being revised with new agency personnel as signatories. There are no changes in content of the agreement. 2. Memorandum of Understanding with Padres Unidos for ELAC Training and Parent Education programming. This annual agreement defines the level of support and programming for ELAC and parent education. After several years, our parent community continues to support these programs. Due to some decline in the number of participants, this year we have scaled back on programs that require parents to attend for 10 week sequences. Instead we are providing three targeted one-night trainings (in two locations). These programs continue to be supported by joint funding between GUSD and SBUSD. 3. Memorandum of Understanding with Explore Ecology to provide services related to Garden Education programming. This is the third year of this agreement with Explore Ecology to provide garden educators at each school. After concerns were raised last year about uneven quality of instruction we have developed a better communication channel between individual site principals and Explore Ecology staff in support of more consistent program and personnel evaluation practices. 6B – Board Review of Ongoing Memoranda of Understanding 6B – Board Review of Ongoing Memoranda of Understanding 4. Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Goleta to provide funding for crossing guards. This item was approved at the last meeting of the Board. Subsequent to that approval, the City proposed a revision that acknowledges payment of $20,000 in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. This corresponds with the City’s two-year budget cycle and implies that the renewal of this MOU in the future will be based on the same two-year cycle. Fiscal Impact: No change in budgeted expenditures or revenues.

The measure will increase state revenues by $4 billion to $9 billion annually from 2019-2030 depending on economy and stock market performance. Increased funding will support schools, community colleges, healthcare for lowincome people, budget reserves, and debt payments. This measure is particularly important for community-funded school districts like GUSD. Its passage will prevent the district from experiencing a loss of approximately $720,000 per year between 2019 and 2030.

Attachments: BP 4030 Proposed Document 8B – Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 4030: Nondiscrimination in Employment 8B – Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 4030: Nondiscrimination in Employment Proposed Board Policy BP 4030: Nondiscrimination In Employment Personnel The Governing Board is determined to provide district employees and job applicants a safe, positive environment where they are assured of full and equal employment access and opportunities, protection from harassment or intimidation, and freedom from any fear of reprisal or retribution for asserting their employment rights in accordance with law. The Board prohibits district employees from discriminating against or harassing any other district employee or job applicant on the basis of the person's actual or perceived race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sex, or sexual orientation. (cf. 0410 - Nondiscrimination in District Programs and Activities) (cf. 4119.41/4219.41/4319.41 - Employees with Infectious Disease) The Board also prohibits discrimination against any employee or job applicant in compensation, terms, conditions, and other privileges of employment and the taking of any adverse employment action, including, but not limited to, termination or the denial of employment, promotion, job assignment, or training, against an employee or job applicant based on any of the categories listed above. (cf. 4032 - Reasonable Accommodation) (cf. 4154/4254/4354 - Health and Welfare Benefits) Prohibited discrimination on the basis of religious creed includes discrimination based on an employee's or job applicant's religious belief or observance, including his/her religious dress or grooming practices. In accordance with Government Code 12940, prohibited discrimination on the basis of religious creed also includes the district's failure or refusal to use reasonable means to accommodate an employee's or job applicant's religious belief, observance, or practice which conflicts with an employment requirement. However, the district shall not accommodate an employee's religious dress practice or religious grooming practice if it requires segregation of the individual from other employees or the public or if it would result in a violation of this policy or any law prohibiting discrimination. Prohibited sex discrimination includes discrimination based on an employee's or job applicant's pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or any related medical condition. 8B – Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 4030: Nondiscrimination in Employment 8B – Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 4030: Nondiscrimination in Employment (cf. 4033 - Lactation Accommodation) Harassment consists of unwelcome verbal, physical, or visual conduct that is based on any of the prohibited categories of discrimination listed above and that is so severe or pervasive that it adversely affects an individual's employment opportunities, has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with the individual's work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. (cf. 4119.11/4219.11/4319.11 - Sexual Harassment) The Board also prohibits retaliation against any district employee or job applicant who opposes any discriminatory employment practice by the district or its employee, agent, or representative or who complains, testifies, assists, or in any way participates in the district's complaint procedures pursuant to this policy. No employee or job applicant who requests an accommodation for any protected characteristic listed in this policy shall be subjected to any punishment or sanction, regardless of whether the request was granted. (Government Code 12940) Complaints concerning employment discrimination, harassment, or retaliation shall immediately be investigated in accordance with procedures specified in the accompanying administrative regulation. Any supervisory or management employee who observes or has knowledge of an incident of prohibited discrimination or harassment shall report the incident to the Superintendent or designated district coordinator as soon as practical after the incident. All other employees are encouraged to report such incidents to their supervisor immediately. The district shall protect any employee who does report such incidents from retaliation. The Superintendent or designee shall use all appropriate means to reinforce the district's nondiscrimination policy. He/she shall provide training and information to employees about how to recognize harassment and discrimination, how to respond appropriately, and components of the district's policies and regulations regarding discrimination. The Superintendent or designee shall regularly review the district's employment practices and, as necessary, shall take action to ensure district compliance with the nondiscrimination laws. Any district employee who engages in prohibited discrimination, harassment, or retaliation or who aids, abets, incites, compels, or coerces another to engage or attempt to engage in such behavior in violation of this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. 8B – Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 4030: Nondiscrimination in Employment 8B – Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 4030: Nondiscrimination in Employment (cf. 4118 - Dismissal/Suspension/Disciplinary Action) (cf. 4218 - Dismissal/Suspension/Disciplinary Action) Legal Reference: EDUCATION CODE 200-262.4 Prohibition of discrimination CIVIL CODE 51.7 Freedom from violence or intimidation GOVERNMENT CODE 11135 Unlawful discrimination 11138 Rules and regulations 12900-12996 Fair Employment and Housing Act PENAL CODE 422.56 Definitions, hate crimes CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 2 11019 Terms, conditions and privileges of employment CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 5 4900-4965 Nondiscrimination in elementary and secondary education programs UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 20 1681-1688 Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 29 621-634 Age Discrimination in Employment Act 794 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 42 2000d-2000d-7 Title VI, Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended 2000e-2000e-17 Title VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended 2000ff-2000ff-11 Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 2000h-2-2000h-6 Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 6101-6107 Age discrimination in federally assisted programs 12101-12213 Americans with Disabilities Act CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, TITLE 28 35.101-35.190 Americans with Disabilities Act CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, TITLE 34 100.6 Compliance information 104.7 Designation of responsible employee for Section 504 104.8 Notice 106.8 Designation of responsible employee and adoption of grievance procedures 106.9 Dissemination of policy 110.1-110.39 Nondiscrimination on the basis of age COURT DECISIONS Thompson v.

(cf. 4141/4241 - Collective Bargaining Agreement) Assignment to Courses/Classes The Superintendent or designee shall assign teachers to courses based on the grade level and subject matter authorized by their credentials. When there is no credential authorization requirement for teaching an elective course, the Superintendent or designee shall select the credentialed teacher whose knowledge and skills best prepare him/her to provide instruction in that subject. When specifically authorized by law or regulation, the Superintendent or designee may assign a teacher, with his/her consent, to a position outside his/her credential authorization in accordance with the local teaching assignment options described in the Commission on Teacher Credentialing's (CTC) Administrator's Assignment Manual. Assignments made pursuant to Education Code 44256, 44258.2, and 44263 shall be annually approved by Board resolution.

ESSA has eliminated the qualifications of the former highly qualified teacher guidelines and uses the broad criteria provided under Ed Code 44662. The policy continues to allow districts, in combination with bargaining unit agreement language, to continue their practice of evaluating teachers using the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Since the state eliminated the Peer Assistance and Review program funding (PAR) that was created to support teachers who needed to improve, language has been replaced to encourage individuals to request assistance as necessary. This would include participation in appropriate staff development, individualized teacher support and/or guidance programs.

Education Code 51210 and 51220 require that mathematics, including mathematical concepts and understandings, operational skills, and problem solving, be included in the course of study offered in grades 1-12. The new standards for mathematics include two types of standards: mathematical practice standards (identical for each grade level) and mathematical content standards (different at each grade level). The eight practice standards are grouped into four categories as reflected in the proposed policy. The New State Standards (CCSS) for mathematics are based on the three principles of (1) focus, placing strong emphasis on the concepts in the standards so that students have sufficient time to think about, practice, and integrate new ideas; (2) coherence, linking topics across grade levels and establishing connections with other topics; and (3) rigor, requiring that conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and applications be pursued with equal intensity. Our adopted Bridges and CPM curriculum fully address the new state standards.

Modeling and using tools: Modeling with mathematics; using appropriate tools strategically 4. Seeing structure and generalizing: Looking for and making use of structure; looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning In addition, the program shall be aligned with grade-level standards for mathematics content. For grades K-6, content shall address, at appropriate grade levels, counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, fractions, measurement and data, geometry, ratios and proportional relationships, 8I - Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 6142.92: Mathematics Instruction 8I - Second Reading and Approval of Revised Board Policy 6142.92: Mathematics Instruction functions, expression and equations, the number system, and statistics and probability.
